Billie's Story

Hello everybody! WOW - I can't believe that it is 44 years since we (the Class of 1966) graduated. Time sure flies..... I attended Monterey Peninsula College for 2 years. I was married in 1968 to my high school sweetheart, Edward Cole. He enlisted in the Navy in 1969 to hopefully avoid service in Vietnam. The plan worked and, once his training was over, we spent 3 years as "land locked sailors" (Ed never saw any shipboard service) in North Central Florida (Ocala - approximately 2 hours North of Orlando). We returned to California in Feb 1972 and ended up in Silicon Valley, Santa Clara County, Calif., where his Navy electronics training helped him land a great job. I lived in that area until 1985. We were married until 1982, no children, no regrets. I remarried in 1984 to Jess Reeves and we have been happily married for almost 26 years! Jess came as a package deal with two children, a girl 11 and a boy 9. We raised his daughter, while his son was raised in Seattle, with his biological mother. Both children now reside in Seattle, and have made us the proud grandparents of 2 girls (12 & 10) and 2 boys (9 & 4). They are the joy of our lives, even tho' we don't see them as often as we would like. We have lived in Petaluma, CA (1 hour North of San Francisco) for 15 years, after having lived in Paris, France for 5 years, Salinas/Monterey for 2 years, and the Silicon Valley for 4...Expand for more
years. We now are planning to move to the Pleasanton/Livermore area sometime this fall, as Jess' job is relocating to that area in September. After 15 years, Petaluma certainly feels like home. However, especially in these days, you have to go where the job is! I guess my Army Brat training will come in handy again, as we start a new chapter of our lives in a new place. I retired in 1999 as the result of a back injury, after having been an Administrative Services Manager most of my career. I probably enjoyed my last job the most, as the Convention Services Assistant Manager for the local Doubletree Hotel. Being located in Sonoma/Napa Wine Country meant lots of conventions. Great job and I especially loved the daily variety, constant interaction with all sorts of people, and level of responsibility with which I was charged. I loved working (most of the time), but have finally settled into retired life after 11 years! I hope this finds all of you healthy and happy in your lives. It will be a blast to see those of you planning to attend the Combined SHS Reunion (classes 1965-1969) being held this October 9th, 2010.\. The last time I was at SHS was for the 25th Silver Anniversary of the school's opening, which took place in October, 1989, which was followed by a Combined Class Reunion for classes 1965-1968. That was GREAT!!!!! Hoping to see you in October, Billie Norris Reeves
